Petersburg Campground features friendly staff and well-maintained, clean facilities, making it a pleasant place to stay. Many campers appreciate the spacious, diverse sites and beautiful views, despite ongoing recovery from Hurricane Helene, which has affected some amenities and scenery. While there are some drawbacks, such as restroom accessibility and low lake water levels, the overall experience remains positive, with many expressing a desire to return.

Our visit to Petersburg was okay. We’ve been to this park many times and the Attendant was very friendly at the gate. But our site was filthy. Cigarette butts on table and trash in the fire pit. There was also no soap in the bathrooms. Also the site next to us kept parking their boat and blocking our site. We had to ask them to move their vehicle in order to leave on Sunday

Spacious, shaded and all lake view sites.
Very private, friendly stuff and clean. The only setback was the extremely limited T-Mobile cell phone service.

We absolutely loved this campground!! Plenty of sites of all sizes! Most sites have a great view of the lake. Easy to dump on the way out.
Quiet and peaceful. Bathrooms/showers were clean. People were friendly. Lake was pretty clear and clean!

Site #15 is perfect. We love #12-15. Easy access to water, ideal for boats, kids and great views. Even if water is down its still nice. Great cove, quiet. Across from bathhouse and not far from playground/beach area. (#15 needs a new picnic table, but all good)

Our reserved site had a tree that was questionable, so they moved us to a better site. Great campground, very friendly staff. Would recommend.

We're very disappointed in NOT having someone at the gate and"watching" over the campground. The price has gone up, but the grounds aren't being kept up like they used to be. It's always been one of our favorite go-to campgrounds. Not so sure anymore. Get some hosts back!!! Not volunteers!!!

I count not mark Excellent. This was our first experience at a COE Campground and could not be happier. The Camp Host at check-in was very friendly and helpful. The bathhouse was very clean.
